Forklift Operators & Coldstore Crew Members Needed

Tauranga, New Zealand

Position One Our forklift drivers are responsible for the smooth transition of frozen product from unloading to processing, into blast freezers, storage, and load/unload containers. It's a versatile role: experience moving steel on steel racks is a significant advantage, as well as the ability to maneuver in occasionally congested areas. You will undergo training to follow and adhere to work procedures and traffic management plans. This is an important role, as you must have the ability to ensure all movements are safe and the product remains suitable for its intended purpose, not compromised by your actions or inactions. You must hold a valid OSH license at a minimum; however, an F endorsement will be advantageous to support the team in our area at the Port of Tauranga. Although your primary responsibility will be that of a forklift driver, we work in small teams. Therefore, to maximise your hours, you will also be required to assist your team between forklift duties. Position Two Supporting our team of forklift drivers is the coldstore crew. This team is multi-functional across all aspects of the coldstore. The role is responsible for the smooth transition of product and for the safe movement of product within the cold store facilities from receipt to export. This is a hands-on role, where manual lifting and manual moving of product is constant, involves aspects of quality control such as the taking of temperatures, and the ability to count for accurate data entry. You need to be fit and healthy to keep up with the operational flow. As a seasonal company, working hours will vary, including Saturdays. In some areas, we operate on a rotating shift system during the season. In your application, please advise your choice of position one or two, your desired hourly rate and any notice you have to give (if currently employed). Thank you
